Lawyers barge into court, shout slogans against LHC chief
 [DAWN] LAHORE: A group of young lawyers barged into Lahore High Court Chief Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah’s courtroom on Wednesday and created a hostile situation for the bench holding contempt of court proceedings against the Lahore High Court Bar Association’s (LHCBA) Multan president.The five-member bench -- comprising the LHC chief justice, Justice Muhammad Anwarul Haq, Justice Syed Mazahar Ali Akbar Naqvi, Justice Muhammad Ameer Bhatti and Justice Shams Mahmood Mirza -- was scheduled to resume hearing at 11am. However, denial ain't just a river in Egypt... at the scheduled time dozens of lawyers gathered in front of the courtroom with the intent to sabotage its proceedings. They shouted slogans against the chief justice and the other judges for hearing the case against their colleague. In the midst of the ruckus, the police deployed in front of the chief justice’s courtroom did not intervene, claiming that they wanted to avoid a clash with the aggressive lawyers.
